The server was the worse I have ever had. He gave himself a 5.00 tip on my credit card.The owner when I spoke to her asked me what I wanted her to do. #1.. Train your employees#2 Do not make excuses.#3 Dont act like it was nothing about the employee stealing from your customers.She offered me a 20.00 gift card. REALLY!!!!
The food came out quickly, the servers are friendly and accommodating (like substituting sides etc.), and the owner goes out of his way to make customers feel welcome and even gave us cookies as a thank you. They definitely go out of their way to make you feel welcome and it was very enjoyable, also ask for the mammoth muffins grilled with butter if you try one. :)
Went here for breakfast on a visit to my hometown. Had pumpkin pancakes, they were OK, dense in their composition but flavorful. I prefer fluffy pancakes. Wait staff was super, very nice people. I would give it a try again though for a different menu item. Restaurant and bathrooms was clean and neat.
New location. The restaurant is clean and the decor is up to date. I had breakfast during my visit and was impressed with my omelette. It was loaded with deliciousness and topped generously with avocado slices. Service was great. If you are looking for decent breakfast at a chain restaurant with a reasonable price, this could work for you.Update: Not sure what happened since the opening of this location, but the food is not up to par. Small portions, cheap ingredients (looked like packaged ham), service was slow, place didnt feel all that clean.
Was caught by surprise by this place. The parking lot was empty and we were just passing by and decided to drop in for a early breakfast for dinner. It was definitely worth the stop. Very good food. Our waitress was great. And the price was on point. Ihop should be worried and Dennys should be watching, its a great blend of chain restaurant ease and small town diner atmosphere. Plus their fresh baked muffins are the best Ive had since Montana mills closed
Excellent service with great food. Employees were taking very good care of the customers, especially considering the current pandemic. I felt really safe eating there as I saw them sanitizing and cleaning the entire time I was there. Very comfortable atmosphere.
Ordered take out since staying at hotel next door, had the sweetest server that cashed me out. The food was the disappointment, gravy was super salty , steak was like jerky , chicken tenders were super chewy with no flavor and the lemon meringue tasted stale.
The food and service were good. The staff seated folks far away from each other due to the virus scare. The prices are a little high for breakfast items. It was my sons birthday so they offered him a free dessert. He had one of the homemade cinnamon rolls. It was huge but not as sweet as I expected. All in all it was a good visit with my son and his girlfriend in a nice restaurant.
Had breakfast for the second time here and always had great food and awesome service. Place is clean to. Would come back for sure.
Excellent service, excellent food! This is our second time we have stopped at this Perkins after a day of shopping in Binghamton and they havent disappointed us yet! Super clean, super friendly. Very family friendly!
Loved the potato pancakes. Very crispy and delicious. Had caramel cheesecake for dessert. Very good. Clean and friendly. Would come again.
The service was horrible and the food was worse. There were 3 other tables besides ours and 2 out of the 3 were complaining about their orders. Our order was wrong. The food was not very appetizing at all. We recieved food we didnt order. We had to ask for our drinks and for our toast to be buttered. I will NEVER go there again.
They were short staffed, took over an hour to get our food. There were 14 on our party. The waitress did her best, was overwhelmed food when we finally got it was ok.
Fast Service! Great Food! So happy we found this place next door to our hotel. Huge menu with lots of choices - and they serve breakfast 24 hours a day. Even my picky vegetarian daughter was pleased. Its right off the exit which was great since we were driving in huge snow. Warm welcoming staff. Beautiful inside. Then brought some desserts back to our room. thanks for a true 5 star experience guys. We will be back for sure!
Highly recommend this Perkins restaurant. Eat here every time that I am in the area for business and have never been disappointed. The staff is always friendly. The food is really delicious. Lately they have some great specials. The store is very clean which is really important. I have never experienced a wait for a table and the server always gets down to business and takes my drink order and then the food. Usually my meal ends with coconut pie or a chocolate eclair to go.
If I could post less than 1 star I would. I ordered egg whites with cheese to go and when I opened my container it had a handful of salt and pepper packets ON the eggs, and NO cheese. They forgot my boyfriends fruit and his breakfast also had a handful of packets on his food. Im sure not ALL Perkins are this horrible... but the one in Apalachin, NY is. Dont waste your money.
Had the beef tip skillet tasted good the portions were good and didnt leave me feeling stuffed. Room for dessert. Coffee and pie for under 5 bucks. Pastries looked good and were very reasonable. My reason for four stars is they had a wild berry pie in a non refrigerated show case that was infested with bugs. Everything else including service was great. I will be eating there again in the future.
Incredible service. A great restaurant in the most convenient location just off the exit. Plenty of parking. The wait staff here is the friendliest anywhere. Several of us tried a few appetizers which were delicious. I had the meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Wife had a fajita skillet type meal. All was delicious. We brought a pie home to share with a friend in hospital and it was great. definitely going to be a regular place for us for dinner and brunch. Wifes Bridge club is going to do a meet and dinner in the private room soon too. Thanks
First off our server Jackie was very polite and gave us some good advice In what too order based off of her likes she was a fantastic server who was fast and very polite. The food came out within 10 minutes of orderin. I would highly recommend based off of the food quality and service thank you Jackie for the great experience .
The food was great! I had a breakfast meal, strawberry french toast crousant, 2 eggs and bacon. We were the only ones at the restaurant at the time. Waitress was very helpful. We all had masks on.
Really impressed with our experience. Large group of us ate at Perkins this past weekend. The service was truly extraordinary. I do not recall ever having better service. The menu is huge and lots of choice. At our table several people had meals served on sizzling metal platters. I had a chicken pot pie with a salad. All so good. Just great desserts. Had an eclair which is my favorite. Will be coming back regular. Love this place guys! Thank you so much.
Newly built. Opened a little while ago. Very clean and new. Service was fast and correct. Had both breakfast and lunch. Each time the food was served hot and fresh. Bacon done to a good crisp. Steak and peppers plate was very good though the potatoes could have cooked a bit longer. Server kept track of us. Bill was approximately $15 per person with tip but we also got an appetizer.
Sunday brunch was a disaster. The cook was not able to handle the fathers day crowd. Customers were dissatisfied and had to wait longer than usual. Its the managers fault. It shows poor preparation.
Superb restaurant! Amazing dishes.
Would give zero stars if I could. One of the waitresses, a little blonde came up, yelled do you want a drink? After we told her, she walked away without saying anything. A few minutes later, she came back, clucked them down at the corner of the table, said literally nothing and then walked away again. Not that this is a huge deal, but didnt even bother to give me a straw. The couple next to us had mentioned that they hadnt even been waited on. I get it, rough, busy morning, but I have had bad service before and still left a nice tip and moved on. I understand people have bad days, but this girl did not even give us a name. Ive never walked out of a restaurant before, but this is the first time that I did because of truly horrible attitudes. I honestly dont recommend this place, even the host was blunt and sat us at the closet table he could and said nothing.
Excellent food. Exceptional Service. Our server Jean was very professional and provided excellent service throughout our visit. We loved the new strawberry menu items. Split several desserts which were clearly fresh and very delicious. The cinnamon rolls are like as big as your head and the best ever. Blueberry muffins are moist and packed with berries. I would have to say that this is without a doubt the best restaurant in the area - and definitely the best Perkins we have been to. We will be back during our next visit to the area. This place is super convenient and just off the exit ramp and was next door to our hotel.
So Ive gone to this restaurant three times now. Two out of the three times we were waiting *forever* for our food. The first time the waitress actually offered us a few free muffins because she knew we had been waiting so long. Then she gave us one to split between seven of us.The last time I went we literally waited 55 minutes from the time we stepped foot in the restaurant to getting out food, and there was only two of us. We ordered as soon as they went to ask us what we wanted to drink to boot. Another waitress noticed we hadnt even gotten our drinks and got them instead. We got our food and we didnt even have silverware. My daughter had a long hair in her burger and I mentioned it to the cashier and the cashier didnt bother to apologize or anything. My eggs were so overcooked they were not edible. And every single thing except for one item on my plate was cold. My daughter said her food wasnt warm either.When we came in there were dishes on the table nearby us. As they were clearing more tables instead of bringing them to the kitchen they literally just piled them on top of the same table. I watched and everyone was served out of order. A couple that came in 20 minutes after us got their food before we did. This place really needs to get its act together. I dont think Ive ever had such a dissatisfied experience at a restaurant!
This is a great local business that deserves local support. Just spent 4 days eating here with friends and family in town for a wedding. So pleased with Perkins. First this place is clean. Staff is really friendly and goes out of the way for guests. Place is really comfortable inside and in a really convenient location. The food is great - and I tried most of the desserts. Met the owners bustling around on Saturday working along with the staff. This place is a winner! We will be there next time we visit to see family.
I would have to say that this was one of the worst experiences I have ever had at a Perkins! The food was terribly prepared and cold! There were four people at my table and we were not served at the same time! The manager was running around putting out fires everywhere! Felt bad for her! It took almost an hour to get our food!
Amazing just wish they would have Mello yello or maybe take it off the menu waitress said they havent had it in years. But there was other drinks and I loved it there. Will definitely go back. Thanks.
Food has been great for years. Short staffed due to pandemic but they are doing their best. Staff amazing irregardless :)
The food is usually good and a relative value. Tonight, service seemed to be an issue. They claimed to be busy but there were empty tables and booths. There were 4 waitresses in our area but we must have been invisible. Parties that came in 15 minutes after we were seated had their drinks before our drink order was taken. If it hadnt been for an observant waitress from another area, wed have left. It shouldnt take 30 minutes to get your drink delivered.
Went there on my own for dinner ordered shrimp with rice stir-fry she came back in a little and said theyre out of rice like really, so I ordered the French dip instead and it was quality A step above minute steak. It didnt agree with my stomach I dont recommend the French dip. But the service was excellent and they had a deal on the muffins buy 3 get 3 free
The experience I had here tonight was incomparably fantastic. It was late, so the cook himself seated and served us. He was extremely personable, and he had a very enjoyable personality. We talked at length about various things. I was there to play a game with a friend, but the cook easily made the experience twice as enjoyable. Best experience Ive had at a restaurant in a long time, possibly ever. Highly recommend.
Wonderful experience. Ate here 3 times during a trip. Pancakes were great. Tried several of the muffin options and all were delicious. Cinnamon bun great. Crunchy chicken salad was a favorite too . Fast and very friendly service. Will be back soon.
Very good service and good food. They take great care to clean and prevent viral transmission. Our server was very nice and food came hot and tasty. Best Perkins at which Ive ever dined.
Place was dead. Food sucked. They were out of a lot of items on the menu. Soda was flat and tasted badly. It wasnt the cleanest for being only open for a year or so. The waiter was kinda creepy and weird. Also kept coming over to our table. Went to pay the bill and they changed the price due to the fact that the waiter forgot to charge us for something. Just an overall poor experience. We wont return. Nothing like the Perkins Restaurants done South which are always busy.
The food & service are always good
Would give 0 stars if possible. Horrible service! Patty, our waitress had the worst attitude I have ever seen all because we politely asked to have what was wrong fixed. Asked for coffee and got a dirty coffee cup, asked for a clean coffee cup got the same cup back just wiped off and still dirty. 2 out of our 4 dishes were stone cold. And our order of chicken tenders came out with a very long black hair in them, sent it back and she came back out with the same tenders. She just took the one with the hair off. So incredibly disappointed that they think people are dumb enough to not pay attention to these things. I will stick to the cortland Perkins. We are also sending a letter to the health department!
Ive visited Perkins on multiple occasions and find the food to be great. Everything is well kept and tastes very good. I generally love going early in the morning or late at night. I highly recommend the French toast and chicken strip melt
We had a great lunch here. The turkey dinner was almost as good as home. It is worth the wait and I am so glad they dont microwave anything here and it is all from scratch. The Bakery is amazing as well.
The first two times we went thing were pretty good. However, the last two times and especially last nights had made me think I will spend our money elsewhere. The waitress was very friendly, however she had to come back to our table not once but twice to tell us they out of things that were ordered and they had to choose something else. It took forever to get our meal, we arrived there right around 5:30 and didnt get our food until 6:20. What I ordered was not cooked the way I had requested it and by that time I wasnt going to wait for it to be done correctly, so I just sucked it up. Then I went to pay for it I was overcharged and they had to refund me the difference. Just way too many mistakes!
Mondays and Tuesday evening the food comes out looking amazing. This last weekend seemed busy but the food came out fast and looking and tasting great. The problem I have with this location is that both times Ive come in weve had the same server. Shes unfriendly, pushy, rude, made the experience subpar. She has blonde hair and no teeth so just be weary of her. Other than that seems the place has picked up a bit
Food is good, servers are friendly, but it seems like management is sub par. Both times I have gone it seems like the servers are confused/overwhelmed and it has taken a while to even get drinks. As a former server, I dont blame the wait staff though, and I hope if anyone else encounters slow service they realize it isnt the servers fault and still tip accordingly.
My wife and I have driven by the restraunt many times. Well, Thursday night we decided to stop in. Could not have been more happy we did. Our waitress, Staci was the nicest person we have ever had when eating out. She helped my wife to decide on her meal and was very helpful on everything we wanted to know about. The night manager also was very kind . We plan on going back as often as we can afford to eat out. Being retired, we will stretch it out . Thanks to Staci and her boss for making our visit a very enjoyable one.
Pros: Prices arent too bad. Average food. Great and friendly staff. Waitresses are wonderful.Cons: Waited 10 minutes to get drinks. Over 40 minutes to get food from the time we received our drinks. They are understaffed.If you arent in any kind of hurry Perkins is a great sit down and relax restaurant for the whole family.
The food was delicious and our waitress Natalia was awesome! My Fiance and I will definitely stop here whenever we pass through Appalachian again!
Food was really good, servers were attentive and followed up with us numerous times. But it took nearly 45-50mins to get simple eggs/meat related breakfast products to our table. Simply unacceptable with the restaurant at maybe 25 captivity err capacity. Possibly understaffed or had call-outs as the restroom bathroom was clean(ish) while the garbage was overflowing. Surprised that a newer establishment/chain cuts costs by not installing automatic flush/sinks in 2018.
5 stars-Loved it! First time my boyfriend and I have ever been to one. Our Waitress, Jean, was amazing and polite! Service was awesome and fast. Food was very, very delicious! Will be back!Update: DO NOT GO ON OR NEAR HOLIDAYS. 3 stars-Didnt mind the wait to be seated. It was about 20 mins. Got seated and waited 10 mins for our order to be taken. After placing the order of mine, my two kids and my boyfriend, we waited over an hour for our food. My food was so disgusting I couldnt even eat it, some was over cooked and not fully cooked. My boyfriends burger was so over cooked, it was rubber. They forgot my daughters toast, so my son gave her half of his. Waitress never came back to check on us. They ran out of Coca-Cola and chocolate milk! Everyone there was very unhappy with the service and food. There was a large group and another group which happened to be my relatives in the back room and everyone was unhappy with the service.I am so disappointed that I have to say this, because our first two visits were amazing. Obviously they are not equipped for holidays.
I loved it here. Service was great and exceptionally clean. Staff took sanitizing and social distancing seriously. They were friendly and the food was top notch.
Today the service wasnt good . Ive never had to wait to be seated. Most Perkins someone is there to greet & seat you . Today I was looking for someone. When she did come she said ( when did you get here? ) Not Hello welcome to Perkins, Im sorry for your wait.Our waitress didnt come back until I was looking arifor her to order my son more eggs. she didnt once ask us if we needed refills. I could understand if it was busy but it wasnt. As for the food it was okay.
The food was great! Service even better!!! The people there are very nice!
My daughter and I went to Perkins for dinner. I ordered the special which was Salmon. It was awesome, had a baked potato and corn. We also order an appetizer Onion rings, with a Chipolte dip. My daughter had a sandwich melt. For dessert we got Pumpkin Pie with whipped cream. We were so pleased with our meal, and the service was great. Our server Jennifer was extremely nice and helpful. It was a great experience, and we will be going back again, for whatever meal time we choose. Love the place. It is very clean, and the decor is very nice, calming and peaceful.
This is NOT a fast food joint. This is home cooked food, from scratch. Its worth the wait! So thrilled that ALL Perkins have thrown their microwaves out and started cooking food like Mom use to cook it. I highly recommend this place if your looking for friendly staff and good ole fashioned food.
We stopped in pretty late at night during a road trip to visit the family. There is nothing better than some delicious pancakes for dinner. Our server Lynnette was very helpful and friendly, even in the middle of the night! Will be back when we are in town again.
My girls and I went in late we go here often, had the prime rib tonight it was horrible absolutely horrible, but I gave a 5 star bc my daughters and I loved our waitress Ashley! Thats why Im writing this review. We were not having a good night, going thru some family stuff. Ashley not only made there rainbow pancakes so cute for them but she was so sweet and funny! We loved her! Oh plus their sugar cookies were so warm, fresh and sooo yummy! But our waitress really made our meal and night! Great people and service make any meal!
I recently are breakfast at Perkins in Apalachin and was totally amazed at how good my food was. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good food.
A great place to dine! Perkins trumps the other places to eat that were in the area. The food was delicious with a wide range of entrees, sides, and drinks. As well as an entire bakery section with eclairs, muffins, pies, and cookies. The wait staff were prompt and friendly as well. I will definitely be going back. Even the landscaping at the front of the building was lovely. Great attention to detail.
The food is always good but the people who serve are genuinely friendly and kind. The Manager especially is personable and always willing to have conversation and laughter. They are down to earth people. Makes enjoying a meal at Perkins like sitting down with good friends.
Great food! We went on mothers day, so the service was a tad slow, but they were keeping up quite well considering the customer volume. Will definitely be back soon.
My parents eat at this Perkins like 3 times a week. no joke. My mom has now said that she isnt cooking anymore since this place opened. My fav is the chicken pot pie and the steak and peppers. The pancakes are the best. Service is very very good and soo friendly. Food is always hot and fresh. Plus, it is very clean place. You wont be disappointed for sure.
Staff was very friendly and prompt. Our family has the breakfast special and it was delicious. Great deal on the muffins, buy 3 and got 3 free. I recommend the pumpkin muffins.
I heard great things so I went there and tried it. Food was decent. They messed up my order, but nothing serious just a minor mix up. The only thing that bothered me was the time it took to get my food. They are supposedly not that slow, but it took 30-40 minutes to get my food. I may give them a second chance, but definitely not if I am on a time crunch.
First time we went was 2 am. The waitress didnt get along fought at our table with one another. Privetly sat the table cut each other down. We waited 45 minutes to get our order in. 3 other people in the place. Very little discount offered for the poor service.
Food was very good. Wait staff very friendly and pleasant. Atmosphere was clean and comfortable. Spent a little more for lunch than I wanted to, but that seems to be the norm these days. Will go back again. It was tasty.
Their food is okay. Its a chain restaurant food. The last time we went, the hostess sat us and 20 minutes later we got up and left. 2 different servers walked past us about 5 times and never spoke to us. Didnt ask us for a drink or tell us theyd be with us in a couple of minutes. Nothing. So, we havent been back since.
Wait staff on slow night(1 table of a woman & 2 kids), doesnt seat you for 15min. even ask you what youd like to drink for 10 more min. another 10min. before what youd like to eat. At least server was nice.
Good food but never the same portions as of the times we were there before & Sometimes its even different then time before,a bit pricey but of it was as good and filling as the first time we were there Id have no complaints thier pot roast melts in your mouth nice and tender with the mashed potatoes and gravey it was defined good. Sometimes theyve over killed it with vegetables taking away from the main course.
We had the fish fry 🐟.. omg delicious. The service was quick and everyone was super nice.topped it off with a huge eclair..yummy!!
A breakfast establishment that doesnt open until 8am... Located for your convenience right next to the highway, just not convenient to stop there for bkfst as they dont open until (advertised 8am) but arrive at 8:15 and doors still locked.
Boyfriend and I stopped in after a long day of moving. Waitress didnt even acknowledge our existence and walked by us multiple times. After waiting 10+ min to be seated or acknowledged we left disappointed.Girl need to sweeten up if she is going to work in the service industry
The waitress did not do a very good job. Forgot my drink, forgot the au jus for the sandwichs. Forgot the desserts that went with the meals. Slapped the receipt down on the table after I told her to remove the drink she never brought. No apology for any of this.
The service and attitude of the staff including the owner was disgusting. There was food frozen in the ice cubes. The service was slow and when I complained the owner said I have never had any complaints. mind you this was my second time there and wad not impressed with the service the first time and thought I would give it a second chance. I will however not be back for a third disappointment. Cant see them being in buisness long.
A good place with excellent staff. The food is amazing every single time and the customer service is great. Really worth a visit here!!!The food and their great service will definitely not disappoint you.!!!
We want there today and it was horrible. We had to wait 20 mins to get a table when there was more than half of the table empty. All the waitress was rude and didnt want to be there. And when u ask for something extra like ranch sauce they are so inconvenient to go get it. Will never ever go there again
Atmosphere was warm, space was clean. Food was delivered in a timely fashion. Taste was what was expected.Waitress forgot our utensils and syrup for pancakes.
Love me some Perkins pancakes! Sadly though this Apalachin Perkins ran out of pancakes! ! ! Are you freaking kidding me? I kid you not! The rib roast selections are awesome. And for upstate NY, the water was amazingly good! I will not be back because I felt like the place must be closing down or worse to not have signature pancakes. ☹️
Had dinner at Perkins for the first time & was absolutely delicious! From the friendly staff to the wonderful food, I’d 10/10 recommended to anyone looking for a budget friendly & great tasting meal! 😄
Being from MN, I was ecstatic to see a Perkins opening in this area. Even with the resturaunt being so new, the food was just as good as I remembered. Our waitress made a few minor mistakes and stuff but, thats to be expected during the craziness of a brand new resturaunt while employees become used to the flow of things.Great place to go if you dont wanna break the bank for a delicious meal, and kid friendly.Welcome, Perkins! ♡
This time we waited for over an hour for breakfast. The time before that we waited over an hour for dinner. We asked for a glass of water 4 times and did not get it until the 5th time we asked. Dinner came out lukewarm and so did breakfast. I have not had a good experience at that Perkins yet
Displeased with our breakfast. Eggs were not cooked as ordered. Pancakes fell apart. Maple syrup looked and tasted as if it had been watered down. Service was just ok. Wont return.
There were not a lot of choices, beyond salad, for the gluten free patrons. Not even a gf dessert. My chicken with mushrooms and asparagus was OK. The spices on the asparagus were good and it was crisp. Other than that, not much else to say.
Waited 45 mins for food, restaurant had 5 tables in use. Finally called and asked to speak to the manager while sitting at my table. 20 mins later our food came out, fries werent cooked and cheese on burgers werent melted. Horrible place, horrible service.
Perkins is overpriced for what you get. The service is slow (we waited 30+ minutes on a neither slow nor busy morning). My friends breakfast was $16 for one, plus tip and his food was tepid. Its okay, its just not great and not someplace to go out of your way for.
Very nice place to eat, service is prompt, workers are very friendly, and the food is awesome, goodies are a special extra!!!! Please stop in and support them!!!!!
I have been to this location multiple times since they opened, & have had nothing but good things to say.. except for my last visit. There were multiple problems & it was my hope to have the chance to talk to someone about this but I had to leave. I went on line & did the survey (on the receipt) and although I always give glowing reviews, this time I didnt & I requested that someone contact me. (Checked the yes box next to would you like someone to contact you.) No one ever did.
First and last time. Went for breakfast, waited almost an hour, and all we got were an order of messed up drinks. Told us it would still be awhile, when asked how much longer, so we left. Wont be back. Only go if you have nothing else to do, for the entire day.
Literally the worst experience Ive had as a customer. Waited AN Hour AND A HALF for our food, despite that fact that we came post rush. Manager did not help us in any manner. I spit on the Perkins name. Garbage.
Great family atmosphere, great friendly service. Baked goods are delicious, have tried different dishes and impressed with options. Quality and prices. Definitely going back
First Perkins visit in 30+ years. Service was great,food was pretty darn good to boot. Only slight complaint is meals are way to big could easily feed 2 lol. Pancakes were ok but overall would go back again np 😁
We waited for almost 2 hours The poor waitress was frazzled because not enough staff When our bill came all mixed up The owner is very rude and doesn’t treat his customers right Never going back there
My 1st experience was a $%!+ show! Went in and literally they had NO FOOD, no burger. No chicken. No desserts. No home fries. Pretty much could order a total of like 5 things off the the ENTIRE menu.. Dont recommend
This is the best restaurant in town! Excellent and fast service! The contemporary art and decor gives a very warm and delightful sense of Home! I could eat here for every meal... it’s open 24/7!
Lots of elderly people. Not that thats bad, but we had a scary moment when an old man collapsed. Spent dinner helping out until the ambulance arrived. Turned out to be low blood sugar. Staff was nice. They seemed use to that.
Newly opened. Friendly service. Clean restroom. Easy access off & onto the highway. Only gave 4 stars because of a couple bothersome flys. Food was as expected from Perkins Restaurants found everywhere.
Excellent food and desserts. Quick service, good atmosphere. A little oricey but worth it!
The staff are absolutely wonderful! And amazing food ,just a great experience over all.
The service is good. The food is okay, the cooks need to understand what a customer is asking for when it comes to preparing their food. If you ask for something to be cooked a certain way then that is what you want not how they decide to cook it.
It’s 8:50 pm and they are closed when their website states that they are open until 11:00 pm. Traveling across state and needed to stop for a bite to eat and thought we had found a place open late enough. No one bothered to come to the door to explain, three employees just stood there and watched us.
Unfortunately I give Perkins a one star, food was terrible, took over an hour to get it. Waitress never checked on us. Had a conversation with other people who have been there they had the same experience. Their methodology of running a restaurant is not working!!!When I informed them I would not return, they did not seem to care.
My new favorite place! Place is gorgeous inside. Luv the fall muffins w/ the cream cheese icing. omg! and cinnabun roll to die for. I had the grannie omlet and french toast. You get like 3 different syrups and lots of hashbrowns too. Food is great. Server was so nice and helpful. Going back tomorrow for bfast!
Good and reasonable food good and prompt service, server had pleasant and friendly attitude as did cashier, very clean place, will go back again.
Was hard to order because there are so many meals I wanted to try. The service is great as well as the food. Am going back to experience their evening skillet meals
Food is good, staff was ok but very pricey and forgot some requested items we ordered. Not impressed at all. If you want a real meal go to the dolphin. Staff is amazing and food is affordable.
Very accommodating to my sons tutoring schedule. Food is great and great people. We meet a tutor a few times a week and they give us the conference room. It is very helpful.
Wonderful and delicious food, good variety of choices, bakery smells and choices are to die for, great atmosphere, super service, everyone is so friendly and kind. Always enjoy my experience at this restaurant.
Long wait for food even though we were the only two ordering. Omlet was poor quality.
First time I ever went, very good food and the workers are nice.
Good food okay prices definitely turned around last time we were there terrible service the managers really straightened them up
Today is Fathers Day. I understand it being busy but they were completely unprepared. Waited over a half hour for a table that was empty the entire time. They were out of lots of things. Waited so long for food that we left before being served.
We really enjoyed our dining experience. Jen, our waitress was outstanding. The food was great, and the GM was very friendly and attentive.
Order wasnt totally correct. Ordered salad but got green beans. My sister got fries that were too cold to eat and enjoy. Both orders were happily corrected.
My husband and I visit this Perkins every Wed night and we absolutely enjoy every visit. The restaurant is beautiful, staff very friendly as well as the General Manager who always takes time to stop by our table to say hi.
Over 1 hour food.....food was terrible..under cooked french fries in my burger was medium rare on one side and the other side was as rare as you could get couldnt finish dinner the server did his best but there was only 6 tables and for servers one lousy cook.... the owner or manager came from his hotel and cooked our food this place should have their Perkins franchise pulled go to the Skylark much better food
I went to Perkins with my family and at one point took out my phone was rudely told to put it away by our waiter. On top of that our food wqs set down then the waiter left, we had to get it ourselves. My aunt had to remind the waiter to bbringeing her food, and my grandfather was given a bacon and grilled cheese instead of bacon and cheese omlet and my brothers eggs were like rubber. The pancakes also had a very sour taste
Food was very good. Waitresses were nice and pleasant.
Friendly service, good food. Very clean. Better experience than a few years ago.
We were the only ones there for awhile. Staff was helpful, clean and good food
Great burgers handmade great milkshakes crispy fries good choice for dinner and pies
Jackie was our server. She did a excellent job of take care if us. Very friendly and very helpful. The food was excellent as well.
Walked in got sat waited for 15 mins without being aknkwlaged by anyone. Neither did any of the other tables around us. People kept getting sat by hosts who looked confused and tried to look busy so they would god forbid be asked for help no servers in sight. Agreed with 4 other tables to just get up and leave since we sat for 15 mins and were not spoken to or saw anyone but busy hosts. 3rd time coming here each time gets worse would never reccomened going ... which is sad because the menu is promising but the staff is pathetic.
Customer service is horrible the food is under cooked are over cooked very rude over the phone and your dismisavedvas if you didnt call rhwbpyr u on hold to purchase food and you hear there entire conversation very rude and unprofessional
Great place to eat. Very nice staff and beautiful place. Food hot and good. Will be back when return to the area. Much better than other local options.
Even following my diet, I thoroughly enjoyed my omelet and choose fuit, the omelet was very filling. Great service
DO NOT EAT HERE...... No green beans, ok broccoli is ok. Food comes we got corn surprise! One server for the whole restaurant. Wanna checkout ? Nobody at the register. Place is a joke .
Alright, we will start with the good:-Hassan is a great guy and very personable and friendly- Somewhat fast service, although its expected when Im the only one on the restaurantThe bad:- for the tender dinner being 11 dollars, I expected them to be a little bigger and since theyre so small, maybe add a few more to compensate for the portion- Honey mustard tasted off as if it was old-chicken seemed to be a little undercookedWaa it worth the 11 dollars? I dont think so. Perkins was the only place open at the time and thats why I went. Recommend tullys even for the drive if you want a satisfying tender dinner. Only positive thing to come was definitely Hasaan I think his name is. Great guy
My husband and I have had several meals here at various times of the day. We have never been disappointed with the food or the service.
My son loved it here! Ashley our waitress made it an especially pleasent visit. Surprisingly good vanilla ice cream.
Poor cook food and app came out same time. Over a hr wait for food. Waited till last minute to inform us they were out of food. Good waitress staff
This place is perfect for breakfast. You get great food and I swear each time I go in, the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack is playing.
Awsome food... great ambiance and such Efficient staff, food arrives within short time and the three times weve visited the restaurant weve never been disappointed.The food is very good, prices are even better...!!!
Delicious comfort food. Breakfast all day. Good choice of other means besides breakfast. Fast friendly service since moderately priced. Clean. Good for groups or eating alone.
What I can really say is Perkins is okay. On reflection, its actually like a more expensive version of IHOP that also does desserts and without the multiple bottles of syrup on the table. They have basically the same kind of menu for both breakfast and lunch/dinner, although I HOPE might have more choices. But like I said, Perkins does have desserts.
We visited for lunch. The restaurant was nearly empty, the waitress pleasant and efficient BUT the kitchen was extremely slow. Thought wed never get out.
Ive always had good food here. The baked goods and pies are very good. The atmosphere is family friendly and prices are reasonable.
This place is just the best place to eat!!! Excellent quality of food. They have friendly atmosphere, great service, just love it.... highly recommended!!!!
Well the place is a bit dirty. My silverware was yucky. And the waitress wasnt very friendly, seemed like she didnt like her job. Food was part.
Great food .very affordable .I took my grandkids the bill was much lower then I had thought it would be . Nice family restaurant. Love he pies too
Excellent service, attention to customer needs. I had the broccoli-chicken-pasta and it was delicious. Love to eat here!
Nice place to eat. Prices vary reasonableIf you stay in comfort in you save 10 percent. Staff very friendly.
Food, service and ambience is excellent. The staff is very welcoming, and attentive.
I have read the reviews listed and feel I must respond to some points listed. Of course every one has an opinion but putting reviews on this site to simply discredit a restaurant should be addressed. Firstly, the Perkins in Apalachin is right next door to the Blue Dolphin. It is certainly more than coincidence that this restaurant is positively named quite frequently in the reviews. Secondly, Perkins does not serve bagels. If you order one while there, yes, you will be waiting a long time. Thirdly, this Perkins does not have any female managers. SONNY is the manager and he is not female. I have met the manager petsonally and can vouche for his professioalism.Please visit this Perkins and see for yourself. Do not let these patently vindictive reviews sway you from enjoying the experience. Those of you that visit Perkins on your travels know that this franchise is known for their good food, resonably prices and amiable staff. This location is no different.
This is a very nice Perkins. The breakfast was excellent. The lady that helped us could have smiled a couple times but she was attentive. Go and enjoy
Food took a 45 minutes to come out after we ordered, server hardly tended to us and wasnt all that nice either. I had to call another server for refills for water. Wont be coming back.
Its an overpriced Dennys. Cookies are awful. We had a great server but table was sticky, no kids menus, and silverware was dirty. Way too much butter for kids pancakes.
Good food, a little salty on the fish. Great Cobb salad. A bit slow on service but all in all a good place right off the highway.
Lunch with my friends. Delicious potato soup, turkey and dressing, and for dessert yummy pecan pie. Got a takeout for half the main course, so I would have room for dessert.
We have started coming here regularly since moving to the area. The staff is always very friendly and the food is very good!
For being open only a few months you would think they would bring their A game but youd be better served by the other diner 50ft away. Food was okay, not great, service was just okay.
Great place to eat staff is great food is amazing prices are affordable
First time there, and service was excellent, the food was served hot and very tasteful, and there menu has a lot more items then dennys. If i had to compare denney to perkins, i would choose perkins,and give them a 5 star rating, you must experience for yourself how good there food really is, and i would highly recommend this place
Went this morning to have breakfast with my husband. A couple of hours later I got violently ill. This place has gone down hill severely. It used to be a nice place to go.
Great food, great prices, great service, did NOT leave hungry!!
Great experience, amazing food specially the tangler burger n cherry pie was outstanding. The staff was were energetic and make one feel specialLoving the ambienceRecommend everyone
Amazing service I was so stoked when I saw this from the road. Waitress was so kind and right on top of everything. Everyone was so kind and uplifting.
Very poor service saw customers leave without being served food waited hour and half for lunch and sausage was frozen, eggs were cold waited for 20min for refills very very bad food will not be going there again
Food was good. Only one waitress working so she was doing the best she could but lunch ended up taking forever.
Amazing food and friendly staff.Their omlettes are really good and a must try.Othet than this i love their chocolate pie. Thumbs up
Nice menu and friendly people. Just dont get anything with bacon. Both my wife and I did, and both agreed it was flavorless and disappointing.
Was ready to leave sat there 15 minutes, but the waitress redeemed herself and did a great job. The food is always good.
Good food at a great price. The staff is so friendly nice place to enjoy a meal.
The only good thing about Perkins was the waitress she was so nice and kept apologizing for the cooks mess up. The cook was awful didnt get anything right we will never go back
Very great experience, our waitress was very funny and never gave us a hard time
Wonderful customer service! Food was fresh and hot!
The manager is always so nice. He jokes with my grandkids every time.
One guy took our order..screwed it all up..thank goodness a nice waitress came to our rescue..the food was good..the gentleman that took our order sucked..and he didnt even. Bring it out!!!
...Everyone is very friendly and attentive. I have been for lunch and dinner and the food is always amazing! Im in love with their beef burger.
PERKINS APALACHIN is OPEN for DINE IN. Google has incorrectly listed our restaurant as closed for dine in and we are having a hard time getting this corrected. We are open for dine in, take out, and delivery!
Great food . Very friendly and attentive service from my waitress Jennifer. She was great. Thanks!
I don’t know how this place has been in a minute. It’s crazy they are still open but definitely a last resort for a place to eat
Server was great..food wasnt the greatest..they used a different batter for their pancakes..they sucked!..they werent the light fluffy ones..these were doughy and gummy..yuck..we didnt eat them..the rest of our food was just ok.. hashbrowns were cold..had to ask for more hollandaise sauce for eggs Benedict..they were very skimpy on sauce
Worst service and food ever! Will not go back to this location. I will drive to Cortland to go to Perkins. They have much better service and I have never had a complaint about their food!
Its a very nice restaurant. The entire staff is very nice and friendly. They have great food and great prices.
Good food, nice staff and good prices.
It was OK. The food was good. Service was a little slow.
The food was amazing, and a quite warm atmosphere it was. The staff was kind and i really liked there menu.❤️
Food is good, the people are great dont even know them but could hold a comfortable conversation while ordering from them
Well 2 times thats good very poor. Waitress nice. But service. Slow wont go there. Again
Place had a nice atmosphere, great waitress, food was definitely lacking! The stake was like chewing on beef jerky nothing tasted that great.
Great location! Food was tasty with reasonable prices and the staff was polite. My family enjoyed it.
The waitress was overwhelmed she had more than 3 tables my girlfriends food came out good but mine came out burnt but other than that it was a nice place
I found a sheet of plastic melted into my waffle. The waitress comped me for my breakfast. The manager at the register seemed completely unconcerned about my being served fried plastic when I paid my bill.
In apalachin ny ; horrible . Bad , horrendous service. Poor food . Go to Blue Dolphin 100ft away. Perfect steak&eggs . Apalachin Perkins can screwup precooked sauage
Love the bites,miss the food. I really want to Go Again!!!!!!!!! LOVED THE CUISINE and they also offer Vegetarian options, Yummy pancakes😋😍
Not bad, pretty good food. Need to provide attention to cleanliness around windows. Quite a few bugs where we were sitting.
Have gone there three times now since its opened and the service has been so horribly slow I will not be going back again. This last time we waited well over an hour for our orders to come out.
We enjoy coming here and the food and price are very good, but they seem to have a high turn over in its staff.
Wow. The list of what they were out of was longer than the menu. Sadly mismanaged. I feel sorry for the waitress and workers who had to bear the brunt of the ownerships incompetance.
Save your time and money and go to blue dolphin. The food is overpriced and the service is terrible. Go to broadway or skylark if you want a real dinner experience.

2020-03-06I would love to give a 5 star rating to this place, but honestly for me is very difficult to give 5 stars unless everything is super super good. Food was great and my experience in the morning was eating Steak and Eggs, there are two portions of this meal first plate is steak, eggs, and potatoes; the second plate is 3 pankakes. If you go to the hotel you can get a 50% off from the breakfast menu that meaning steak and eggs for $7. The waitresses are great. If you go to the hotel you can also get a 10% off from the dinner menu. I recommend the salmon with baked potato and broccoli. The potato bacon soup was great! This place has much much better quality than the blue dolphin next door where my coworker and I had horrible experiences. Perkins is great!

2018-04-24This place is actully really good! The place is open 24/7!! They serve breakfast all day. This is awesome for a guy like me who tends to stay up late. The coffee is really good! Super tasty! Tastes almost like a French roast. Large portions, and they even have gluten free options. The place is wheelchair accessable, and had lots of seating. Even a private room that can be rented for large gatherings. I got the triple eggs I dare ya. Super large meal! I MEAN LARGE.

2021-10-04We stopped for a late lunch and the sign outside informed potential customers that the business was short staffed and asked patrons to please be patient. So we entered. Two people were paying and leaving, one person was seated and eating, and then us. We were seated and placed our orders and were served very quickly. That was the end of the service. The waitress never came back to check on us. When she finally came back, I asked for the check and inquired about the slice of pie that comes with the burger and pie special. She said she had forgotten about the pie. So I asked for her to bring it in a to go box. She came back with the pie and I asked if I pay her or the front counter. She said front counter, so I got up and walked to the front to pay. The second customer had finished also so both of us were standing at the front register waiting to pay.And waited...And waited...Now mind you...I had just asked the lady where I should pay. There were three people behind a partition laughing and talking about personal stories, and both of us...the other customer, could clearly hear them having a great time while we just stood there and waited. We were the only 2 customers in the entire restaurant and both of us were trying to get our dinner paid for so we could get back on the road.Finally, the waitress who brought my check to me wandered out during a lull in the behind the partition conversation, and had a big eyed look of surprise on her face as if the last two customers had magically appeared at the payment counter!She took our money and we got out of there.Management...just because the sign on the door says short staff...be patient, doesnt mean that 3 employees cant take care of 2 customers.No wonder the restaurant was empty.Next door, the Blue Dolphin restaurant had a full lunch parking lot. Perkins had nothing. So choose wisely patrons...choose wisely.

2021-10-10We were one of three tables. The server was new. So understandable she might not be great. But it seemed like she got little training. Plates of food, cups of drinks were being placed in front of my toddler, we had to ask where parts of our meals were, and one entree wasnt put in to be made at all until the other meals were brought out. But we were told it only takes 3 minutes to make a meatloaf meal which is so reassuring and definitely explained why the food was less than good. For spending $100 I wouldve expected a little bit better quality.

2021-08-07We just had our family reunion group here for lunch. 30 of us ladies. We reserved our time ahead and they were all ready for us when we arrived. Really nice staff. The chicken pot pie was great. My favorite was the shrimp skillet with an asian sauce. So good. We each had a slice of pie after supper. The wild berry and peanut butter were out of the world good. We will meet her again soon. Highly recommend.

2021-08-04Moved to the area recently and this is a regular restaurant for us. We love the great service and attention. Always very clean including the restrooms. My grandkids beg to come there and the manager usually gives them a cookie. We love the skillet meals and my husband gets the potroast or turkey dinner. They change up the muffins and I recently had the poppy seed and the pineapple - both were great. We will be back next week.

2021-08-07I was in town with my wife and we both stopped in for dinner with our service dog Molly. We were so impressed that they gave our Molly a free hamburger patty and ice water! How lovely! Our turkey dinners were fantastic as well!!! We and Molly will definitely be back again soon!!!!!
